- Discussion on the timing of the next reunion. Mid-May keeping in mind graduations, Mother’s Day, etc. Research into best timing was suggested.
- Discussion as to the bell from the U.S.S. Sea Devil 400 and it’s possession and management resulted in the fact that Chief Mickey Martin has custody at this time. Stanley Earl offered to take the bell to the next reunion if Chief Mickey can not and Mark Mosher offered to be the alternative to Stanely Earl if he can not. The understanding is the when there is no long a Sea Devil Reunion the bell will be returned to the Styles family.
- Homer read the email from Bill Emley and his daughter who offered to develop a professional Event Planner for the U.S.S. Sea Devil Reunions. The plan will be tailored just for the group which will own the plan. The offer was free to the Leadership which they will work in conjunction with. Mark Mosher requested information be sent to him.
